For Tammy Rae by Bikini Kill
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Closing track to Bikini Kill's 1993 debut album, 'Pussy Whipped'. Really beautiful song,
and it's nothing but a couple of power chords. You can play them as barre chords if you
want, but it doesn't really matter here. Riff B is played throughout every verse and
Riff A is the intro and is also used as a bridge. The bridge ends with Riff C, goes back to
Riff B, and Riff D is the outro. This is a cake walk if you've been playing guitar for
awhile, but a great track no less and really, really pretty. Good for beginners who want
to play a love song, Olympia riot grrrl style of course. But really, it is very mellow
and affectionate, listen to the song for the exact timing.

Riff B
Past the billboards and the magazines
I dream about being with you
We can't hear a word they say
Let's pretend we own the world today
Riff B
I know it's cold outside
But when we're together, I have nothing to hide
Hold on tight, I will never let you down
It can't rain on our side of town

Riff B
Wipe the sweat from my hair
Tell me we're not better off
Wipe the tears from my face
The sunny side of the street where we are
